AC Milan

It was an afternoon to forget for Maurizio Ganz's Rossonere. AC Milan were beaten 6-1 by Juventus in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final.

The French goalkeeper produced another stop in the 81st minute, keeping out a powerful right-footed effort from the substitute Stapelfeldt. Then, three minutes later, the away side well and truly put the game to bed: after Giuliani had thwarted Zamanian, Rosucci was there to convert the rebound. AC Milan started the second half positively: Longo’s left-footed shot went past the post in the 47th minute; then, five minutes later, Codina had two opportunities from two consecutive Rossonere corners, with Girelli making a headed goal-line clearance to preserve the visitors’ two-goal advantage. After a very lively opening 15 minutes, the game started to calm down somewhat, with AC Milan controlling possession and Juve defending diligently and ready to strike on the counter. This will be a difficult one to take for the Rossonere, who will now be focusing on a tough run-in in the league as they look to claw their way back to second place and a crucial Champions League qualification spot. The match began in an intense fashion at Vismara, with Longo and Bergamaschi looking particularly threatening for an AC Milan side that were showing some good signs in attack. It was an afternoon to forget for Maurizio Ganz's Rossonere. AC Milan were beaten 6-1 by Juventus in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final.

With the second leg still to come in April, Juventus Women can already start to look ahead to the Coppa Italia Femminile final after a resounding 6-1 win ...

The two meet in Turin for the second leg on April 30. While the Rossonere were wasteful with the chances that fell their way, Juventus were anything but. Amanda Nilden made it 2-0 before the break, and Girelli added Juventus’ third just after the hour mark.

Milan pick up a huge three points in a tricky game as the youngster Kalulu shines.

He is doing well in the advanced role but he does not have the technical ability to breakdown defences but allows us more control in these games. He did well to kept the attacks starting and brought lots of energy to the midfield. He scores a belter that wins the game as he continues to show that he is a top centre back choice in the squad now. Davide Calabria: A good game from him where he was forced to run and constantly put his body on the line to block crosses and more. His clean sheets are a godsend when the attack is having an off day. Mike Maignan: A great performance where he stepped up at the right moments and make some crucial saves.

Theo Hernandez missed out on AC Milan's clash against Empoli yesterday due to suspension and Alessandro Florenzi replaced him on the left-hand side.

Hernandez will be back for the next game and that will make a difference. Florenzi was never going to add the same quality, also because he’s very right-footed and the attack became a bit more predictable. Replacing him was never going to be easy and with that in mind, Florenzi certainly passed the test.

After a huge away win over Napoli, Milan hosted Empoli and managed to claim all three points as you would expect. Their performance wasn't that convincing, ...

He looks to be in peak form just in time for the crucial games of the season and with Tonali there, Milan aren’t that worried about the midfield and defence. It’s certainly good to see Ibrahimovic fit since Giroud has looked tired in the last couple of games and it’s no wonder that fatigue has caught up to him, given he hasn’t managed to get any rest with Zlatan’s injury. Hopefully, with Ibrahimovic back and Rebic gaining fitness, it will be enough for Milan to finish off the season in a strong way. Ibrahimovic played ten minutes or so (including injury time) towards the end of the game and seemed in a good physical shape. Given that they paid just €450k for him, it must be said that it was a fantastic deal by the club. The Rossoneri failed to create a lot of dangerous chances and their winner came after a set piece.
